Two STUNNING shades! Especially for either professional or more conservative settings, or for a 90’s retro lip with Downtown Plum.
My pick for myself would be Hibiscus! 🌺
I love the embossing on these luxurious lipsticks – and my favourite is Downtown Plum. Looing at the dupe list I can see why I like this one so much – a really good dupe of this is Maybelline’s Mauve for Me – one of my all time favourite lipsticks at a fraction of the price.
I am glad to see Hibiscus get such a good review from you! In the previous formula, Hibiscus was my Holy Grail and I am of course hoping it will be that after the reformulation. (And I also have 2½ old-school Hibiscus in my stash, haha, as well as some other BB Lux Lip Color including Downtown Plum.) I ordered the new Hibiscus yesterday so I look forward to testing it myself soon, but your positive review was a good start!
Thank you for your good work, Christine!
